GPA Calculator for Ireland

GPAWorld covers 4 universities in Ireland. Between them they use 4 different grading scales, the most common being the 0-100 percentage award-mark scale at 1 of them. They all round the cumulative average the same way. That is why this site keeps one grading configuration per university instead of one per country — a single "Ireland GPA formula" would be wrong for most students who used it.

The same grades, two different GPAs in Ireland

This is the clearest argument against using one national formula. Take a student who earns their university's second-best grade in four courses— identical academic performance, on paper — and run it through each institution's own rules:

Maynooth University

Second-best grade: 99 (99 points)

99.00

Semester GPA

Technological University Dublin

Second-best grade: A2 (3.8 points)

3.80

Semester GPA

Same effort, same relative result, different number — because the scales, point values and rounding rules are set by each university rather than by Ireland. A calculator that ignores this gives most students the wrong figure.

How universities in Ireland compare

Looking at the Ireland configurations side by side: 1 of the 4 use plus/minus grades while the rest award whole bands only, so an "A−" is a real grade at some and does not exist at others; 3 publish the percentage range behind each letter, which lets you work backwards from a mark to a grade. Each university's own page spells out which of these apply to you.

Common questions about GPA in Ireland

Is there one GPA formula for all universities in Ireland?

No. The 4 Ireland universities covered here use 4 different grading scales between them, so the same grades can produce very different GPAs. Pick your university from the list on this page.

How do I calculate my CGPA at a Ireland university?

Open your university's page from the list above. Enter your current CGPA and completed credit hours, then add this semester's courses with their credit hours and grades. The grade options come from that university's own table, and the result is rounded using its own rule — so the number matches how your registrar calculates it.

Why does my friend at another Ireland university have a different GPA with the same grades?

Because the point values differ. Four courses at the second-best grade give 99.00 at Maynooth University (99 = 99.0 points) but 3.80 at Technological University Dublin (A2 = 3.8 points). Identical performance, different numbers.

Is my university missing from this Ireland list?

Quite possibly — coverage is being expanded steadily, and each university is only added once its grading policy has been read from an official source and encoded. Send us the university name and a link to its published grading scale and we will add it.
